I’m always looking for an easy DIY or craft that I can do with my kids. With the school starting, life has gotten busy…really busy. In the early days of September, our big guy was invited to a birthday party where the parents asked on the invitations to bring homemade gifts rather than presents. It’s always easier to go out to the store and quickly pick up a gift, but this birthday request, allowed us to take the time from the initial school rush and create something together. So, thinking cap on…we made DIY Crayons in heart shapes! They also make the perfect Valentines’ Day craft!
This is a really easy DIY that’s cute for your little ones to give as a gift or just use for crafts.
How to Make DIY Crayons
Ingredients
Crayons & Silicone mold (ice cube tray or muffin tray).
Directions
This is a great way to use up your broken crayons.
- 1. Take the wrapper off the crayons, break them into small pieces (if they aren’t already broken) and place them in the molds. Bake at 250 degrees for about 10 minutes.
- 2. Place the molds in the freezer to let them set and pop them out. Voila…super cute heart shaped crayons.
- 3. All you need is a cute little box, ribbon and attach a colouring book for a cute gift.
I hope you enjoyed my DIY Heart Shaped Crayons as much as I did! If you make it, please share your photos with us on Facebook or Twitter! Also, check out all of our other crafts!
